Irreversible Damage

The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters

By: Abigail Shrier

Narrated by: Pamela Almand

Irreversible Damage is an exploration of a mystery: Why, in the last decade, has the diagnosis "gender dysphoria", transformed from a vanishingly rare affliction, applying almost exclusively to boys and men, to an epidemic among teenage girls?

Author Abigail Shrier presents shocking statistics and stories from real families to show that America and the West have become fertile ground for a "transgender craze" that has nothing to do with real gender dysphoria and everything to do with our cultural frailty. Teenage girls are taking courses of testosterone and disfiguring their bodies. Parents are undermined; experts are over-relied upon; dissenters in science and medicine are intimidated; free speech truckles under renewed attack; socialized medicine bears hidden consequences; and an intersectional era has arisen in which the desire to escape a dominant identity encourages individuals to take cover in victim groups.

Every person who has ever had a skeptical thought about the sudden rush toward a non-binary future but been afraid to express it - this book is for you.

Very Balanced

Abigail Shrier tells a balanced warning facing many adolescent girls, and the damage it causes

Exceptional work

Great book. Well-written, informative, and extremely helpful during a dark time. Thanks, Abigail for your hard work on this difficult subject!

Mom of ROGD girl. Also a grownup tomboy

I’m so happy that people are writing about this. I have hope that more people will notice. It’s tough growing up but it’s worse to get trapped in a phase.

Eye-opening!

Every parent should read this book.
Every guidance counselor, school administrator, and teacher should read this book. Every mental health professional and doctor should read this book. As adults, we must take more responsibility for our children’s well-being.

Very interesting

This is a very interesting book with thought provoking points. It is a very good listen.

A must read for any and all Transgender supporters or deniers.

This book tackles a lot of tough subjects that are considered taboo in today’s natural conversations. It covers the risks of what becoming transgender might present, while also accepting and even agreeing with people in the transgender community. Being a fairly new father to a 2 y.o. daughter this subject still terrifies me. But after listening to this book it’s helped me to understand better how I might decide to teach my daughter certain values and morales. This is not a “how to” for dealing with the subject, but it is chock full of information and testimonies from parents and teens and transgender people, as well as professionals from both sides of the spectrum.

irreversible damage

this author is very persuasive and convincing in her arguments. In my opinion, this should be reading material for any one interested in having a balanced perspective on this topic

I hope this gets widely read.

This book should be required reading for all medical and educational professionals. If only to introduce an opportunity for critical thought.

Enlightening!

This was a brave and daring book, revealing how much the transgender cult hurts girls.

A heartbreaking delve into a hidden societal issue

As someone who is not a parent or really invested in the ROGD situation as a whole, but concerned by anything that can negatively effect some of our most vulnerable members of society (young girls), I found this book to be devastatingly powerful in its' presentation. Im tangentially aware of the controversy surrounding it, and the book touches on that in great detail. However, most of the criticism seems to further illustrate exactly the problem that the book aims to address. I don't think it's going to change any minds on this particular topic in the larger culture war, but I don't think the author intended it to do anything of the sort. It's a fantastic read that introduced me to a growing problem and I'm not ashamed to admit that it had me in tears at parts. A must-read for curious minds and an eye-opening exposure to what some would consider "forbidden knowledge".
